About this listen

From Kevin Hart and Charlamagne Tha God’s SBH Productions comes the first full-cast audio production of an original work by New York Times bestselling author S. A. Cosby. Spanning seedy locales on the East Coast to the familiar grounds of the South (S. A. Cosby’s stomping grounds), this hard-hitting and punchy crime spree story dips into the author’s well-traveled and tumultuous themes: religion, sex, power, and love.

Meet Preach, Digit, and Maria, three lost and damaged souls trying to make it on the streets of New York City, running petty scams to stay alive. A twist of events changes their lives forever when they accidently kill a man connected to the mob and find a small fortune.

Now on the run, the trio tries to escape a notorious hit man called B-Boy. Along the way, they run into more shady characters and more trouble. Seduced by the siren call of the money and struggling with their own demons, Preach, Digit, and Maria will soon discover even the closest bonds can't overcome their past traumas as they race toward a dark, self-fulfilling prophecy of their own making. This fast-paced, down and dirty—and supremely witty—dark adventure will take you on the ride of your life the moment you hit play and the second these outlaws hit the road.

Mad cap adventure

A sleazy hustle leads to murder, blood money, and a manic escape from city to city and then a farm. Violent but lucky escape little adventure.

Wild Ride

Three friends on a scam come into some Russian mob money and have to skip town with a hit man on their tail. Full cast and production help flesh out the light and shade of the story and at just over 4 hours it's a fast and furious read - funny too.

Wish it was a series

I wish it were longer. I hope it becomes a series. It would be great televised. Great job from cast and crew.

Good story

Very good story and, for the most part, well voiced and acted. The Russian dude chasing them is the cheesiest character ever, though.

Lacked realism

Liked the comedy in it.
Liked the concept of the story & the backstory of the characters.

Didn’t think the Russian assassins were believable in any way. Not even close.

Main characters just weren’t likeable. Not sure why, but only Maria felt realistic.

The farm battle was as weak as it gets.

Giving the 1/2 the money away was the icing on a nasty cake. Just wouldn’t happen.

Listening to actors was interesting, but ruined some scenes, due to chaos/noise.

The credits were like a whole chapter! When you need this many actors, it’ll take 10x longer to produce a book & will just bump the price up😩

On the whole, it wasn’t easy to chew through. Give me narrated books, not a hybrid “show”.

Fast paced, dark and witty outlaw ride

This production is chaos central that doesnt let up from the minute your press play. It's fast paced, very dark but also witty and genuinely human but isnt for the faint hearted or those who like morally clearcut characters.

Not a favourite for me

I love Crosby’s writing, but this one I struggled with. I like narrators reading their own parts, but as it’s all dialogue it’s more like a play. I found the sound effects detracted from being able to follow the dialogue. The Russian accents were dodgy.
